Reasons:

College aged girls are prone to “molding” themselves into what society wants
They already worry about maintaining good grades, getting good jobs after graduation, and fitting in
They often skip meals to balance out the calories from the beer they drank at last night's party
Anorexia and Bulimia are two of the more serious side effects that have emerged
-They also may develop low self-esteem, thoughts of suicide, dissatisfaction of their bodies, self mutilation, and many other psychological disorders. 
-According to The American research group Anorexia Nervosa & Related Eating Disorders, Inc. One out of every four college-aged women uses unhealthy methods of weight control-- including fasting, skipping meals, excessive exercise, laxative abuse, and self-induced vomiting.
